We found Hotel Serena to be an excellent value for our money on our quick overnight to Rome. The hotel is located just next to the train station and is an easy walk to the colliseum. Cab fare to the Vatican was around 12 Euros. The hotel was clean and secure.Marcos at the front desk provided superior customer service...stored our bags...called, taxis...and made good dining recommendations. He made us feel very welcome.

Hotel Serena exceeded our expectations on our recent trip to Europe. We were looking for an inexpensive option that would be convenient to Termini Station for two nights that we were in Rome prior to boarding a cruise ship. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating--and spoke excellent English. Our room was very clean and comfortable--and a nice breakfast was included in the price. We LOVED the quaint little elevator--it was adequate for two people and their luggage and was certainly preferable to hiking the stairs! After all, we were looking for an "authentic" Italian hotel, and Hotel Serena was exactly that. Rome was quite warm while we were there, but the air conditioning kept our room at a comfortable temperature--and it wasn't unusually noisy. We actually loved the location--lots of inexpensive restaurants nearby and was a very quick walk to Termini Station. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we have the opportunity to return to Rome.

I was with daughter and son-in-law and we had 2 rooms. We were there for the city and not the hotel. As everyone says, it is close to the Termini so that we arrived and checked in quickly and were touring within half an hour of getting off the train. We walked everywhere except for the subway a couple of times. Hopping the train to Pompeii (or wherever) was quick. Late for departure. No problem. It was two blocks to the station. We saw NO seedy characters and walked the neighborhood in ease. I actually thought it was a nice area.

The hotel was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. We checked our bags the last day so that we could do some things before departing the city. My room was the smallest of our trip, but was plenty big enough for 1 guy. The weather was nice, so cannot speak to the AC. The window opened to a small area between other parts of the hotel and I could see daughter's window across the way. So there was no view. But we were there only at night and for sleeping.

The breakfast was quite good with pastries and cheeses and the usual fare. The price was very affordable compared to other places in Rome. If you did not want to wait for the elevator, you just take the stairs which circle it. I actually used some frequent flier miles to pay for most of my four nights. (I have found that they are not good to me for very much else.)

So we recommend the Serena if your travel plans are like ours were.

The location is very strategic, near the Termini station. You can basically go anywhere in Rome from this place. The room are clean and spacious. The staffs are very friendly and can provide you with any information you need. Internet wifi is free and the speed is ok. Main problem is that the elevetor is very small (max 3 person) and with big suitcase is quite troublesome.
